Anchovies add a lovely saltiness to these juicy barbecued steaks, without imparting a fishy taste

Rosemary & anchovy lamb steaks recipe

Ingredients

  • zest 3 lemons
  • 6 anchovy fillets, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped rosemary, plus extra sprigs, to serve
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 lamb leg steaks, about 250-300g each
  • lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  • Put the lemon zest, anchovies, rosemary and the oil in a food processor, then blend to a rough paste. Put the lamb in a large food bag or bowl, then pour over the marinade, massaging it into the meat. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, preferably overnight.

  • Heat the barbecue, then cook the lamb for 4-5 mins each side (depending on the thickness of the lamb and how you like it cooked) until nicely browned on the outside. Transfer to a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 mins. Serve sprinkled with rosemary sprigs, and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
